From the Court to the Code: Tech Slam Explained
A career in professional sports doesn't always require a jersey. The Hidden Genius Project and Leaders Up recently hosted "Tech Slam," an inspiring event designed to show young innovators how their love for the game can lead to high-tech career pathways.
From AI workshops to robotics, students explored the intersection of sports, tech, and business. The goal is to demystify the industry and reveal the "genius" within every participant. "I’ve always wanted to do something with tech," one student shared. "This program helped solidify my goals and build my resume for college and future jobs."
The initiative carries massive economic weight. With $18 billion projected for the regional sports economy, organizers are pushing to ensure at least $1 billion is invested in mentorships, internships, and career pipelines. By providing these resources, the program helps youth design their own roadmaps for economic empowerment and long-term success.
